Rylie Bisballe was a standout performer with her fifth double-double of the season, scoring 17 points and achieving a season-high of 14 rebounds. MacKenzie Bisballe contributed nine points.

GVSU has faced five ranked opponents this season and emerged victorious each time, outscoring them by an average of 68.8 to 47.2. Under coach Mike Williams, this is the third time the Lakers have reached the Final Four since his tenure began in the 2015-16 season.

Pittsburg State secured their place in the Final Four for the first time in program history by defeating Lubbock Christian with a score of 66-55. They won both the MIAA regular season and tournament titles and are known for having one of the most efficient offenses nationally, scoring an average of 80.4 points per game.
